What's even more upsetting after spending $5,000 in mods is knowing it adds little additional value to your car. Mods are for your pleasure and enjoyment and not for the next owner of your car.

I keep a spread sheet on every car i own and all of the "extra" expenses.
I don't even have this car yet and I am at $4,898.16. But i should get about $1,000-$1,200 of that back when i sell my stock 20" wheels and tires.

I think i am pretty much done for a few months, or at least i hope i am. I got ALL the bolt on stuff and quite a bit of dress up stuff.

After driving the car a few months I will be doing a cam and springs install, but don't see me going any further than that.

no worries on that.... as you said... my "enjoyment" and I've been told mods actually DECREASE the value of your car in the long run (collectors etc).

Probably 600 or so. Bought a pistol grip shifter, aluminum bow ties, kick plates, cell phone holders. Oh, and add another 600 on a garage vac, rolling shelf, and tons of zaino cleaning product. Love it all, don't feel I've wasted a penny.
I also have a CAI and GMPP headers but bought those prior to reading the forum.
Oh yeah, can't forget the 1000 I spent on clear bra and having the car professionally clayed and detailed.

So a total of maybe 3500 in mods. Of which this forum drove 2200 or so. Jeeze!

But I wouldn't change a thing. The forum has helped educate me to make intelligent decisions.

My husband has spent a lot from ideas from C5 on our Camaro and I have thought about pulling "wife aggro" and make him not come onto the site for a while but then I turn around and see something on here and say "Hey honey, did you see this? That would look sweet on the Camaro!" and send him the link at work. I guess I don't help either... lol
